Sculpture by the Sea V.. 'shooting against evil spirits'..



Sculpted by Japanese artist Takahiro Hirata in granite 'Arrowhead Dark Night Shine' .. In Japan 'an arrow has the meaning of a talisman shooting against evil spirits. Evil may come from outside but also appears from inside of one's self.. here a shining arrow breaks through darkness'. No Touching.. but oh my how strong the temptation was to touch those smooth sculpted edges, caught someone in the act below :)


At the art gallery last week the painting below by English artist L.S. Lowry titled 'The Rival Candidate' made me think of our State elections today.. although a street platform below versus a media platform today, the haranguing is the same :) Fortunately campaigning run-ups to our elections are only two months and a decision by WA's current Premier to align however tenuously with Australia's female version of Trump has made my vote somewhat easier..can't wait to see the outcome! Happy weekend, take care and stay safe...
